Jessie Oldfield and Adam Murfet form an acclaimed directing duo, renowned for their versatile approach across narrative television, short films, and commercials. They initially gained recognition for their art-house fashion films, captivating major brands like Renault, Adidas, Country Road, Target, and Myer with their distinctive style. In 2019, Jessie and Adam first ventured into television with the creation of the half-hour comedy series 'Why Are You Like This'. Originally conceived as part of the ABC's Fresh Blood Pilot Season initiative, the duo later produced and directed the six-part series for ABC, subsequently picked up by Netflix. Their narrative TV journey continued with a directing stint on the reboot of 'Heartbreak High', earning global recognition and winning the 2023 International Emmy for Kids: Live Action. The husband-and-wife duo join the podcast to chat about their creative collaboration, horse racing, and the new season of 'Heartbreak High', premiering on April 11.

Every other Tuesday, Broadsheet Melbourne: Around Town offers a quiet moment to step into the city's vibrant current. This isn't about listing events; it's about the people quietly shaping the texture of daily life here. Each conversation pulls back the curtain on a different facet of local culture, from the precise craft behind a neighborhood restaurant's menu to the creative impulse driving a new gallery exhibition or an independent fashion line. You might hear from a chef redefining a classic ingredient, a designer building a sustainable brand, or an artist whose work captures a particular Melbourne mood. The podcast, produced by Broadsheet, moves fluidly between food, art, and society because, in this city, those lines are always blurring. Tuning in feels less like consuming media and more like grabbing a coffee with the most interesting person in the room-the one who can explain not just what's happening, but why it matters to the way we live, work, and gather. It’s for anyone who believes a city's character is built through these countless, thoughtful contributions, one story at a time.
